Product Overview
The Craghoppers Normanton kneepads are a technically advanced solution for professionals who require consistent joint protection without the burden of heavy, restrictive equipment. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Craghoppers workwear trousers, these inserts provide a necessary barrier between the user and hard, unforgiving surfaces. By focusing on ergonomic articulation and lightweight materials, these kneepads ensure that safety does not come at the cost of mobility.
Key Features
BLOOM Technology: The inclusion of algae-derived foam significantly reduces the environmental footprint of the product while maintaining high-performance shock absorption.
Articulated Construction: This design allows the pad to flex in unison with the knee joint, ensuring the protective surface remains correctly positioned during movement.
Ethical Manufacturing: Being REACH compliant and produced in ETI-certified factories, these kneepads meet rigorous standards for both chemical safety and ethical labour practices.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% EVA foam, the Normanton kneepads are engineered for durability and resilient cushioning. The material choice is deliberate; EVA offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, providing a substantial feel under the knee without adding noticeable weight to the trousers. The articulated segments are a critical performance feature, preventing the pads from shifting or bunching, which is a common failure point in standard rectangular inserts.
The performance of these pads is further enhanced by their lightweight profile, ensuring they do not cause the trouser legs to sag or drag during a long shift. This makes them an ideal choice for professionals who are frequently transitioning between standing, walking, and kneeling.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
While these kneepads serve as internal structural protection, they form part of a wider professional uniform strategy. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting garment customisation since 1976. For the trousers that house these pads, we recommend embroidery to achieve a "proper" professional look, ideal for company logos and staff names. If you require larger, more impactful branding across a fleet of workwear, our high-quality print services offer a bold and durable alternative. Our in-house expertise ensures that your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the professional image of your business.
Use Cases
These kneepads are an essential addition for any tradesperson operating in environments where floor-level work is required. They are particularly well-suited for floor layers, plumbers, and electricians who must navigate cramped or hard-surfaced spaces. Additionally, maintenance engineers and landscapers will find the articulated design beneficial when working on uneven outdoor terrain.

Practical Advice
For the best results, ensure the kneepads are inserted with the articulated grooves facing outwards to allow for maximum flexibility. As these are one-size inserts, they are designed to fit snugly within the internal knee pockets of Craghoppers workwear, so ensure they are pushed fully to the base of the pocket before beginning work.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and protective qualities of your kneepads, it is vital to handle them with care during the cleaning process. We strongly recommend removing the kneepads from your work trousers before laundering the garments. Failure to do so may cause the EVA foam to lose its shape or compression resistance over time due to the agitation of the washing machine.
Avoid exposing the pads to high heat or chemical solvents. Allowing them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators will prevent the material from becoming brittle, ensuring the pads continue to provide reliable cushioning for the duration of their lifespan.
